Just installed the new app. But I can’t find where the music library went. Also no option to add a folder to the library 

 

Moderator edit: We have an article with instruction on how to add a music library share on Windows and MacOS. Have a look.

Do you have the option to “Update / Index Music Library Now”?  That is still missing from my Android app.

I added a folder on my NAS yesterday and today i can see that folder in my music library en can play music from that folder. Is it possible that Sonos has turned on automatic indexing now?

OK. that latest update to My Mac Os Sonos software did the trick. I followed the Sonos directions carefully, and I have My iMac stored iTunes Music Library back. It shows up with full functionality on both the Mac and Mobile Apps. Still hornery about all this, but happy it all works again. 

Now...please update the Mobile Apps so they show upcoming tracks and allow editing of said Que...please…

Also, maybe make the volume adjustment while using large speaker groups less “glitchy”...

So does this latest update also restore connections to external hard drives on iMac without the workarounds mentioned a little earlier? Can anyone confirm? At work now so can’t test anything.

No update to the Sonos app is going to restore connections to any drives used with a PC or a Mac.  The previous share method used HTTP sharing.  This has been dropped due to security issues.  Unfortunately, the new share method (SMB v2/v3) requires the user to share to set up the share before Sonos can see it.  This is the “workaround” you refer to, which is actually the normal way to setup an SMB share on a PC/Mac.

Thanks for the clarification.  Appreciate that we at least have a video now walking through the steps. I still don't understand quite what I need to for my situation as I have a Crucial X6 external hard drive connected to my 2021 iMac.  Crucial is telling me they can communicate with SMB v2/3 with no settings needed to be changed and not sure what I should be doing on the iMac. Any additional help for my specific set-up would be appreciated.
